People all around the world are gaining weight, and there is little sign of progress here. Thus, exercise is now more important than ever.
The bad news, though, is that if you don't exercise correctly, you can do some serious damage to your body.
Thus, here is how to avoid fitness injuries:
1. Increase your blood flow beforehand: This can be accomplished with a warm up by simply increasing your body temperature. I prefer to do both. I take a hot shower before exercise and I stretch. This ensures that all your joints, ligaments and tendons are flexible.
2. Add as much variety as possible: This is a great way to avoid overuse injuries that slowly creep up on you over time until it's too late. For instance, lifelong swimmers usually end up having issues with their shoulders because this area is heavily used.
3. Don't push it when you are getting sick: Even if the symptoms are above the throat, so to speak, it's much better to stay on the safe side. After all, a single bout of serious illness can sideline you and keep you out of the game for weeks.
4. Get new shoes often: The last thing you need are shoes that are worn out. A fresh supply of well cushioned shoes will keep your joints nice and healthy. So make sure you don't exchange meager savings for irreversible joint damage.
5. Take cold water with you when you exercise: Don't rely on your gym or fitness center to provide cold and refreshing water. Take your own water and sip on it consistently between exercises. This will ensure that you stay hydrated.
6. Make your connective tissue strong first: Too many people make the mistake of lifting too hard too soon. Do this and you run the risk of joint damage. You are better off using lighter weights with higher repetitions to make your joints strong.
Avoiding injuries can be just as important as making progress because a single injury can reverse all of your progress. So take action here today, don't delay!
